Chapter 673
Over the past few months, she had learned a great deal under the mentorship of the Freeman family, gaining a wide range of knowledge and skills.
Soon, the staff handed the fabric Nichole had selected to Sophie's manager.
The manager inquired, "What style has Ms. Rowena chosen?"
"We haven't picked a style yet. I was just about to introduce some."
Sophie merely glanced at the silk satin Nichole had chosen and then, with a slight smile, said to the manager, "Didn't Ms. Rowena mention earlier that she liked the style I've chosen? Then, we should focus on introducing the style I'm wearing to her."
"But, madam, the mermaid dress you are wearing is made of chiffon. Using the stiff silk satin that Nichole has chosen might not yield a good result."
Sophie's gown, although also made of silk, was indeed chiffon. If they were to use the silk satin Nichole had chosen, the result might be disappointing.
Sophie said, "But this is what she specifically requested. We might not think it looks good, but she might find it appealing. Besides, when it comes to business, we should listen to our customers."
The manager quickly understood Sophie's point. He whispered a few words to the staff by his side, who promptly brought several popular styles over to Nichole.
The mermaid dress style was prominently displayed.
Nichole immediately fell for the same mermaid dress style as Sophie's, asking, "Is this the same style as the one she's wearing?"
"Yes, but this style is more complex to make and might be a bit more expensive."
Hearing that she could have a dress made in the same style as Sophie's and with more expensive materials, Nichole nodded in satisfaction. She turned to subtly seek Bea's opinion, "Let's go with this one, Grandma. What do you think?"
"As long as you've decided, that's good. The engagement gown represents our image, and the Burke family must maintain our dignity."
"Do you have any other requests, Ms. Rowena? If not, I'll have the designer prepare the sketches for you to review."
"I believe the sample over there is embellished with diamonds, right?"
"Yes, but..."
"I want my dress to be embellished with diamonds, too; money is no object."
With that, Nichole handed the sketch to the staff. The staff was nearly overjoyed to receive such a large order and quickly relayed Nichole's requests to the manager.
Sophie listened quietly from the sidelines while Jenna expressed her dissatisfaction, "Nichole is simply too much. Isn't this an obvious attempt to outdo us? No, I'm going
to talk to Lennon. We must also use
the best and most expensive
materials!"
Jenna was about to make a call, but Sophie immediately stopped her and shook her head meaningfully.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Confused, Jenna paused, and in the next second, Sophie said to the manager, "Proceed with making the gown. I'm very satisfied. We'll be leaving now." The manager promptly escorted Jenna and Sophie back.
As they were leaving, Nichole glanced at Sophie with a smug expression as if to flaunt her current status.
Sophie chose to ignore her provocation. After all, on the day of the engagement party, Nichole would have nothing to smile about.
